Atlantic City MLT photo gallery
Here are images from the latest Major League Triathlon event in Atlantic City, N.J.
MLT was founded in 2016 featuring 8 pro teams comprised of two men and two women each competing in the Super Sprint Mixed Team Relay format seen in the ITU World Championships from 2009 through 2016. Each member of the four-person relay teams – in an alternating gender order – completes a course consisting of a 300 meter swim, a 6 kilometer bike leg and a 1-mile run.
On June 3 in Atlantic City, the Cleveland Rock and Roll team won its second straight team title and the favorite’s role going into the two remaining series races in Vail, Colorado on August 26 and September 9 in Cleveland, Ohio.
